No visit to London is complete until you have partaken in some of its quintessential traditions and institutions.

This tour experience begins with a walk through St James Park. You will then enjoy the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace. Your guide will make sure you are in a prime position to enjoy the best views at this crowded event.

After the breath-taking ceremony of Changing of Guards at the Buckingham Palace, The Royal Mews of Buckingham Palace welcomes you with their glory and splendour.

You will see the famous Diamond Jubilee Coach that was built to celebrate The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. The other treasure of The Royal Mews is the Gold State commissioned by George III in 1762, it has been used at every coronation since that of George IV in 1821.

After such an eventful start to our tour, it will be time to slow down the pace with a relaxing stroll to a local luxury hotel for traditional afternoon tea.
